When I was younger, my cousins and I made up this thing we called the Man’s Club. We had to do certain manly things — such as diving into jelly fish-filled waters or lighting a bag of poop on fire on someone’s doorstep – to be considered members in the exclusive club. Why does this pertain to Carlos Arroyo hitting a Mexican opponent across the face? Because a 35-year old female could be breast-feeding one child, pregnant with another, watching Lifetime movies and reading a Nicholas Sparks novel all at the same time… and she still wouldn’t be as much of a woman as Carlos Arroyo. After seeing this slap, there’s no way he ever would have been a member of the Man’s Club. No way.

P.S. - Just another reason the Heat are going to be the NBA’s most-liked team next season.
